PRICE: $22.00 + $1.32 tax
SHIPPING: $4.00
BINDING: Softback Spiral
PAGES: 65
DESCRIPTION: The world has known untold numbers of
great historians. From ancient days, there have been those who recognized the
value of preserving a record of people, places, and events. These efforts have,
for the most part, been completely unselfish in nature.
True historians are not seeking to make a name for themselves. Their reward is
the simple preservation of the historical record that will instill a knowledge and
pride that comes from knowing "from whence we came."
Garnett R. Walker, the premier historian of Wayne County, Kentucky was such a
man!
Mr. Walker spent the major part of his life, in his words, "dabbling" in
Wayne County history. Those of us who have benefitted from his "dabbling" know that his research went
far beyond a surface research of Wayne County
history!
He carefully researched his subject and, with the spirit and skill of a master teacher, interpreted and communicated
that history in a way to inspire us and instill pride in our heritage.
In 1961, Garnett wrote ONE BRIEF DAY to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War.
He faithfully records the effect the war had on the people of Wayne County. Every person acquainted with Wayne County
history will be able to relate to this publication.
In this memorial edition of the work he published, we have sought to remain faithful to the original text.
The reader will find some of the statements "dated" in that those statements were ture at the time they were written.
We have not changed many of those statements, desiring to let the reader experience the full effect of of Mr. Walker's writing
skills.
We have added many photographs and other visual items that we hope will enhance your reading enjoyment of
this important work.
May the memory of Garnett R. Walker remain alive in the minds and hearts of all
those who love Wayne County history!

TITLE: "SOUTH FORK COUNTRY"
AUTHOR: Samuel D. Perry
DATE PRINTED: 2003
PRICE: $20.00 + $1.20 tax
SHIPPING: $4.00
BINDING: Softback
PAGES: 265
DESCRIPTION: The Kentucky Historical Society says SOUTH FORK COUNTRY provides "an exceptional reading
experience," and that it "has lasting value for the historian of early cultures, of Indian life, and of Kentucky." Through
the pages of this delightful book, the reader is transported to a land first settled by Paleo-Indian, and later taken from
the Muskogean people by the Cherokee. In SOUTH FORK COUNTRY, the reader learns of the explorations of the Long Hunters,
of Chief Doublehead's infamous exploits, of fifteen year old Andy Mounce's narrow escape from Cherokees who sought to kill
him, of the drilling of the world's first commercial oil well, of "Raccoon" John Smith, and of General Ambrose Burnside's
heroic invasion of East Tennessee, which brought peace to the troubled land of South Fork Country.
SOUTH FORK COUNTRY is the story of an industrial exploitation that almost destroyed the region, but it is also the story
of a grass-roots rebellion that restored the land. It is a story that merits preservation and makes a lasting contribution
to the history of the southern Appalachians.

her life. Carrie Denney lived in the Denney's Gap and Upper Turkey Creek section of Wayne County. Carrie was a
prolific writer--not in a professional sense but in a historical sense.
Carrie had a grandmother, Matilda Matthews Denney, who was born in 1848. Grandma Matilda and Carrie had a very
close relationship and Carrie heard hundreds of stories from her grandmother. Carrie wrote on just about anything she
could find and one day decided that she would use an old hardbound book with blank pages to write down some of the stories
she had heard from her grandmother.
She wrote those stories in beautiful longhand. When the tornado struck her house; she was killed but her book survived.
It was tattered, torn, soaked with rainwater, and muddy. But it survived!
We have obtained that book and scanned all fifty-nine pages. We have transcribed and lightly edited the book into
a form that will be easily read. We have also included many photographs of Carrie, her family, and her grandmother.
There are photographs of the Denney homesite, photographs of the gravesite, and copies of newspaper articles and Carrie's
obituary.

TITLE: "AS I REMEMBER"
AUTHOR: Dr. Frank Duncan
DATE PRINTED: 2007
PRICE: $22.00 + $1.32 tax
SHIPPING: $4.00
BINDING: Softback Spiral
PAGES:
DESCRIPTION:This volumn is about the life and times of one of Wayne County's most "beloved physicians"--Dr.
Frank L. Duncan.
Most Wayne Countains don't have to be introduced to Dr. Duncan because he played such a prominent role in our history.
For almost fifty years, he served his fellowman providing compassionate healthcare.
There are literally thousands of people who were "brought into this world" as he assisted in their birth.
When Dr. Duncan retired in 1986, he was encouraged to write about the
good life he had in his medical practice. He did and we just recently obtained
a copy of his work and knew immediately that it would have to be made available to all those who knew and loved him.
With the
assistance of Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, Dr. Duncan’s widow, we have published the work and included many unpublished photographs
that help tell the wonderful contributions Dr. Duncan made to our community. These
include family photographs, photographs made by Dr. Duncan while in military service, and historical scans from the Wayne
County OUTLOOK.
The publication
will be of interest to all who knew Dr. Duncan, especially those whom he brought into the world.
AS I REMEMBER tells the story of Dr. Duncan’s family and his childhood
in Monticello. He recounts stories of watermelon fights on the street beside
the courthouse and how his brother, Parker, would go up to the second floor of the Ramsey Hotel and “bomb” those
on the streets below!
Dr. Duncan
gives a wonderful report of his service in the U.S. Army during World War II and how, while fighting a forest fire in Italy,
ran into Homer Corder, Sr., another Wayne Countian!
In several
places, Dr. Duncan allows the reader to see the great love he had for “Lib” and the wonderful life they had together
in serving the people of Wayne County.
Dr. Frank L. Duncan’s legacy lives on in the everyday events of
Wayne County. His untiring efforts led to the building of the Wayne County Hospital. He worked diligently to build the Country Club and Golf Course. When the Methodist Church wanted to build their new building, they were led by Dr. Duncan in the building
process. As a member of the Kiwanis Club for over twenty-five years, Dr. Duncan
has left his influence in this important and active civic club. In 1975 he was
chosen as Kentucky Citizen-Doctor Of The Year Award by the American Academy Of Family Physicians.
Many family photographs have been included in AS I REMEMBER that will serve to lead the reader to
a greater understanding of this man who was once described with these words: "Dr. Duncan has sympathy for the fallen; he will
take time to minister to broken hearts or broken bones. He can weep with those who weep or rejoice with those who rejoice.
His kind acts are without number."
